what wine goes with which food

[tommy_d]

i always say...wine and food are a relationship not much unlike chosing a mate: you either pick a wine and food pairing that are either exact opposites, so they balance each other, or pick those that have a lot in common.

both theories work in interpersonal relationships, and i think they work with food too!

an acidic pasta with red sauce may need a fruity chianti, or a turkey with sweet cranberry sauce would be well complimented by a sweet gewurtz.

and, of course, when in doubt, wines with high acidity, and low "oak", are generally best for whatever you're eating!!

happy eating.
